Accidenti. Avevo quasi finito un piccolo pezzo a commento di quello di Matteo Galacci.it sull’uso del pinning in Debian.

Ma non lo trovo più. Accidenti, doppio accidenti, triplo accidenti (a proposito, stupenda questa reclamè a tema Wacky Racers della Peugeot). Mi toccherà riscriverlo.

Accidenti a me che ho usato il “press-this” senza salvare neanche una bozza. Tanto – pensavo – le bozze le salva automagicamente. 🙁

Aggiornamento: mi son messo di buzzo buono e l’ho riscritto Debian: programmi da stable, testing, unstable ed anche experimental senza traumi

Behemoth GUI

Posted on by Paolo Redaelli

The end of the world is nearer as these days people find easier to create a huge 50mb behemoth based on Electron to provide simple GUIs like this loginized “Gnome GDM Login Theme Manager. Easy and Fast Login Theme Manipulation”.

Thank you for all the fish, but I wonder why you haven’t used Gtk directly…. it’s even the suggested way to create simple Gnome apps… See «How to build, install and create a tar.xz of a Hello World program»

media.ccc.de – Creating Resilient and Sustainable Mobile Phones

 

  1. Freedom from Energy Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the energy we need to communicate.
  2. Freedom from Communications Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the communications we need to organise and sustain communities.
  3. Freedom from depending on vendors for the security of our devices, so that we can patch security problems promptly as they emerge, so that we can sustain communications and privacy.
  4. Freedom to continue to innovate and improve our digital artefacts and systems, so that we can react to emergy threats and opportunities.
  5. Freedom to maintain our devices, both their hardware and software, so that our ability to communicate and organise our communities cannot be easily eroded by the passage of time.
  6. Freedom from Scale-Dependency, so that individuals and small groups can fully enjoy the ability to communicate and exercise the preceding freedoms, without relying on large corporations and capital, and also allowing minimising of environmental impact.

 

SECUSHARE

Posted on by Paolo Redaelli

Secushare employs GNUnet for end-to-end encryption and anonymizing mesh routing (because it has a more suitable architecture than Tor or I2P) and applies PSYC on top (because it performs better than XMPP, JSON or OStatus) to create a distributed social graph. Together, these technologies allow for distributed private social networking including more straightforward and secure e-mail, chat, exchange of content and a private web. It could even work out as a safer choice for the Internet of Things.

Imagine Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail and Skype rolled into one, without the centralized surveillance and control. Crazy? Well, it hasn’t been tried before, at least not our way. So let’s give it a try.

Disclaimer: secushare is a research project that hasn’t reached prototype status, yet. Consider that it basically consists of a new Internet stack combined with a full-fledged distributed scalability alternative to cloud technology. The challenge is so big, please be patient that we’re not done quite yet. If you think you can contribute competence, time or attention to us, don’t stop reading.
